Clothes Of Sand Nick Drake

(D2) (C) (hold) (D2) (C) (hold)
(D2) Who has dressed you in (C)strange clothes of (D2)sand,
(Bbj7) Who has taken you (A) far from my land?
(D2) Who has said that my (C)sayings were (D2)wrong,
(Bbj7) And who will (A)say that I (D2)stayed much too long?

(Bbj7) Clothes of (C)sand have (D2)covered your face,
(Bbj7) Given you meaning, but (A)taken my place,
(Bbj7) So make your (C)way on (D2)down (D2/C)to the sea,(D2/B)
(Bbj7) Something has (A)taken you (D2)so far from me. (C) (D2) (C) (D2)

Does it seem worth now (C)all the colour of (D2)skies
(Bbj7) To see the earth through (A)painted eyes,
(D2) To look through panes (C)of shaded (D2)glass,
(Bbj7) See the (A)stains of (D2)winter's grass?

(Bbj7) Clothes of (C)sand have (D2)covered your face,
(Bbj7) Given you meaning, but (A)taken my place,
(Bbj7) So make your (C)way on (D2)down (D2/C)to the sea,(D2/B)
(Bbj7) Something has (A)taken you (D2)so far from me. (C) (D2) (C) (D2)

Can you now return (C)to from where you (D2)came,
(Bbj7) Try to burn your (A)changing name,
(D2) Or with silver spoons (C)and coloured (D2)light,
(Bbj7) Will you worship (A)moons in a (D2)winter's night?

(Bbj7) Clothes of (C)sand have (D2)covered your face,
(Bbj7) Given you meaning, but (A)taken my place,
(Bbj7) So make your (C)way on (D2)down (D2/C)to the sea,(D2/B)
(Bbj7) Something has (A)taken you (D2)so far from me. (C) (D2) (C) (D2)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
